“The hybrid cats are enjoying the creative perches and structures specially built for them in their beautiful new habitat by the volunteers at WildCat Ridge Sanctuary in Oregon – project funded by Trees for Tigers”

“The outdoor play area in the hybrid cat habitat has been expanded to include a second tier of perches, catwalks and bamboo bridge connecting the right and left sides. The two Vine Maple trees provide lots of places for the cats to hide, play and sleep in this “mini forest” habitat. Beautiful finish work and creativity at this sanctuary.

Hello everyone! My name is Hoover.

I am a 15-year-old two-humped Bactrian camel. Recently, I lived in the Scottsdale area as someone’s pet, until they passed away. Then I came to live at Keepers of the Wild sanctuary in Valentine, AZ. Now I share a large natural enclosure with a Dromedary camel named Hodor. I had never seen another camel before in my life until I met Hodor. We like to eat a variety of foods, including alfalfa and orchard grasses, apples and carrots. Hodor and I plan on living long, happy, and healthy lives, as we camels can live up to 50 years. We are grateful to Trees for Tigers for building us a big barn, which we call “Casa Camelot,” and a big shade complex where we can eat our meals and get out of the sun whenever we want. We are getting along well together too!

Hodor

Hodor, the Dromedary Camel, belonged to a loving owner and was well taken care of at home. One time the 9-year-old camel was sent “on location” for a photo opportunity when he became interested in a bouquet of flowers that a human model was holding. He went to take a bite of the flowers and accidentally bit the model. So Hodor found a wonderful home at Keepers of the Wild.
